Lets's calculate LCM of 368,723
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 266064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/266064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7494/368,4856/723 is 2/266064
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 368,723 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(368,723) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(368,723) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(368,723) = ( 368 × 723 ) / 1
LCM(368,723) = 266064 / 1
LCM(368,723) = 266064
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
